Class of 2017 SG/SF Jordan Tucker (NY / GA) Leaving Duke to Butler

[iommi]

Woah. Moyer wearing #2 this year, not #3. If Alvardo is wearing #5, that's interesting

I think JT is screwing with people.

 

[jordville]

#3 & #5 are open... SUball

Not so much Tech.

 

[jordoo]

Lol I doubt he would give away his choice tweeting about jersey numbers.

Okogie is switching the #20 this year, it's on his official Twitter.

 

[ATLien]

It could change but Jose is #10 right now

Wore #5 here on visit. No 3 available also. I figured 2 would be his choice after a Twitter interaction with Moyer where Moyer turned him down. Good to see it's not an option.

He's screwing with people. Basically 5 & 3 would be available at both schools.

Also, not to be mean, but joining Jose Alvardo and Curtis Heyward probably won't sell most kids lol

Except that he and Jose are boys and played together on the Rens

I hate to be pessimistic , but I don't like that quote at all either. How can't I be when a very similar statement was said by QG's coach in the interview before his announcement? We know what happened there. Of course , it could all mean nothing here lol.

Wasn't the quote from Green's coach after he announced?

I understand that. I'm just saying that it's not like we're talking about Quade Green here...

Sweet! You guys have one of these? Or runner up?

Some of your brains are going to implode by this kids actual decision date/time. I fear for the well being of some of you on here.

I haven't posted on here in awhile, and these are some of the reasons. Everyone chill, don't feed into the troll jobs of others,including Tucker himself, and let this thing play out. Be happy if its cuse of course, and move on if its Tech. Tucker obviously fills a hole we need for a hope of success next yr, but that is pure speculation if he is advertised. I will not lose faith that if we miss, the staff will find a shooter via grad market or overseas. We have players here folks...very talented players that will more than likely surprise a lot of us. Just my 2 cents...

Hi, Peacone. Welcome.

So you guys seem pretty confident, based on Intel some people are getting from your board. Is the poster who seems very confident and has doubled down on JT choosing GT a credible poster? I think it could go either way.

I agree but some of us find this lunacy...fun... In a perverse way.

I don't think it's just about Jordan Tucker at this point. It's about the general direction recruiting has been going lately. This would just be another negative data point in the last 3-4 years of some really bad misses, both in who we've lost and who we've failed to go after.

Okogie is switching the #20 this year, it's on his official Twitter.

That would be the year he is graduating. #GT20 = GT class of 2020.

Interesting tho that #20 is a retired number for them Tom Hammonds.....hmmmmm

SMH. Looks like we've got another mystery, Scooby Doo.

 

[cuse91]

guys I figured it out. he has decided that he is going to wear 5 if he goes to Cuse based on the pic he tweeted on the visit and number 3 if he goes to ga tech. therefore, whichever number wins in the vote is the college he is going to attend. vote 5

Mystery solved, gang.

And we'd have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids... And their dog.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Supposedly evan cole wanted #3 for them too..obviously nothing set in stone but definitely makes you wonder. Either way juiceman is having fun at our expense lol! Love this recruiting stuff

Trust me, I'm well aware and completely agree. This program has endured a lot these past few yrs and losing guys early, sanctions, etc have hurt and it shows. I get frustrated myself, a lot lately...but I'm done caring about these type of recruiting scenarios. I'm surprised were even back in this one considering all of the drama from the past with Tucker. So if he comes, great! If not, ok...I get it and good luck at g tech. They had a good yr...buy I'm not buying stock in them over us.

We have one guy in BigDaddyBuzz whos confident. He's pretty well plugged in so it's nice but for the most part we are edge of our seats just like you guys. As long as he doesn't go to Puke we should all be happy. The social media aspect I thinks gives these guys privileges on screwing with us which they may enjoy a bit. Til he wears the hat I don't believe much of anything. I picked you guys due to ground made up over the past couple months just 48 hours ago, yesterday I would have swapped back to us, today I'd say it's 51-49 GT. I'm no insider, just gut...

Yeah, thanks. I'm about at the same % now, based on my gut. I didn't like his father saying something to the effect of, "Syracuse has done everything they could in the recruitment." That sounds like something you'd say about a second place finisher.
